editing "org-export-latex-default-packages-alist" has no effect

[Stinky Wizzleteet]

Hi all,

thanks to help on this list I found out about this variable as I need to
omit the "textcomp" and "fontenc" packages in my exported latex header.
My tex file won't compile otherwise on my n900.

my init.el contains :

(custom-set-variables

  '(org-export-latex-default-packages-alist (quote (("AUTO" "inputenc" t) ("T1" "fontenc" nil) ("" "fixltx2e" nil) ("" "graphicx" t) ("" "longtable" nil) ("" "float" nil) ("" "wrapfig" nil) ("" "soul" t) ("" "textcomp" nil) ("" "marvosym" t) ("" "wasysym" t) ("" "latexsym" t) ("" "amssymb" t) ("" "hyperref" nil) "\\tolerance=1000")))

)

However, fontenc and textcomp are still in the org-generated tex file.
bug, or feature ?

best,
wzzl

That line you pasted contains both packages.  Maybe you forgot to set
it after customising it or some such thing?

I figured that "textcomp" "nil" meant that textcomp was turned off..
I'll try to erase the entry alltogether.

Yes, I have confirmed now that I need to erase these items from the list
in order for them to not show up in the header.
The customize-variable system toggled the entries from "t" to "nil",
which apparently was not enough.
I think this is a bug.

But now, for me, it works.

thx.

From the docstring:

,----[ C-h v org-export-latex-default-packages-alist RET ]
| Each cell is of the format ( "options" "package" snippet-flag).
| If SNIPPET-FLAG is t, the package also needs to be included when
| compiling LaTeX snippets into images for inclusion into HTML.
`----

If you look at the Customize interface, where you toggled it, the
label is ‘Snippet’.  The ‘INS’ and ‘DEL’ buttons are for manipulating
the list.

Oh snap !
Apologies all around.
This noob stands corrected.

I should have read it better -if at all.

thx for the strict-but-fair fleecing.
